Hyde Park Rally Demands Cleveland Victory in 1884 Politics
A large Hyde Park gathering featured torchlight procession by the Cleveland and Thurman battalion with fireworks. Speakers included Harvey N. Shepard and ex mayor LD McGillicuddy. Charles F. Jenney chaired and read a letter from Robert Bleakie endorsing Cleveland’s election and urging tariff reform. The speakers argued against protective duties, urged tax relief on raw materials, and criticized Republican calls for surplus spending. They contrasted tariffs, Treasury policy, and the impact on workers, wool production, and New England industry, urging lower duties on raw materials and moderate reductions on manufactured goods.
